Hi, my name is Madam Germaine Dyan Umber
I'm a woman, if you need clarification.
My job is Hogwarts school librarian.
I'm 37 years old.
My birthday is November 27th, 1995.
My dream job is my current occupation, luckily.
My blood status is muggleborn.
The house I'm was in was Hufflepuff.
I was in the class of 2013.
I'm interested in men.
I'm currently with no one.
I may seem strict and old fashioned but I'm really sociable and outgoing. I have an optimistic outlook on life, and genuinely believe much of the world is good people simply trying to live their lives. In the face of hardship, I tend to persevere, and I'm made of sterner stuff than I may seem to be. I like it when things are peaceful and everyone is content; I've no interest in manipulating or hurting others for my own gain. I'm more open minded than I come off as, and while I can be old fashioned, I'm open to new ideas and new perspectives, so long as my own principles are upheld. I'm passionate and energetic about the things and people I care about, and dedicated and hardworking when it comes to my job. I can push myself too far, giving more than I can manage, and forget about my own wants and needs. I despise dealing with hard facts and data, and tend to rely on emotion over logic, despite being quite bright. I can take things personally, and sometimes cave to the middle ground far too often.
My background story is I was born to two muggles living in London. They were both professors at a prestigious university, and I was raised in a large flat on the top floor of an old house, surrounded by books and writing. I was a happy little social butterfly of a child, and had a lot of playmates despite all my quirks and odd habits, such as turning the TV on and off twice before leaving the room. Strange, I know. I had always known I was different from the other kids. Weird things just seemed to occur very frequently around me, things no one could explain. I never quite realized I was magical, though, at least not until a professor from Hogwarts came to our flat one day and explained everything. He took my parents and I shopping for my school things, and I was finally introduced to the wizarding world. This, I felt, was where I really belonged. My parents were surprisingly unfazed by all of this, and very supportive of me attending Hogwarts. They are all for learning, after all. I was sorted into Hufflepuff, much to my delight. Despite being quite clever and loving books, and also being pretty bold if I do say so myself, my friendly nature and outgoing personality won out in the hat's decision. I didn't mind at all. I made plenty of new friends in my own house, and did very well in all my classes. I especially loved the library, and was always trying to sneak into the Restricted Section. I just wanted to have a little look around, I swear! I was very happy until my parents died, during my final year of school. It was a car crash, and I was now an orphan. But being 17 and legally an adult in magical society, I wasn't forced into an orphanage or anything. Instead I finished my classes as best I could, and tried to have a positive outlook on life. But it got to a point where if I stayed in Britain any longer, I was going to go mad. So after I graduated, I set off traveling, seeing the world. I did not return for a few years, and when I did I felt finally ready to move on. Remembering my childhood dream of working in a library, I got the necessary training I needed to become one. For the nest while, I worked as a librarian in a few muggle schools, until I heard about the position being open here at Hogwarts. What's better than being a librarian? Being one at a magical library! Now I am the school's new librarian, determined to manage this library to the best of my ability.
At the Fall Festival which ended rather badly, I was attacked by a child vampire and fed from before a young woman saved me by blasting the undead little brat off me. The thing killed her, but later died, from what I heard. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I'll never forget that brave girl's sacrifice. She didn't have to help me, but she did. I have a scar from the incident, but managed to get away from the madness. I've also met a really very nice man named Gabriel and... that's all I have to say about that. No, I am not blushing!
Recently I decided to adopt, after a lot of consideration. I've always been under the assumption, that in order to have a family, I'd have to be married first. But there's no sense in wasting my years when I could make a family of my own, right now. When I went to Wool's to see about adopting, I was only thinking of adopting one child, preferably older, due to my work at Hogwarts and the fact that those children who are no longer infants or toddlers have a much lesser chance of being adopted. But then I met Kimberly and Kiley, and I fell in love, real love, for the first time in my life. Eleven year old twins, and magical to boot. They'd already received their letters. The orphanage is run by a former Hogwarts student and witch now, who was very understanding. I adopted them on the spot, and have zero regrets. We're a family, a real family, and I couldn't be happier. The twins were sorted into Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, respectively, and have settled in at Hogwarts very nicely. It's also nice to have some helping hands around the library.
I enjoy reading, especially ancient texts, singing to old tunes, meeting new people, helping people find books, and good old fashioned riddles.
I despise too much ruckus in my library, bullies, cold hearted people, raw vegetables, and books being abused.
I'm afraid of dying alone, with no friends or family.
My strengths are my long lasting patience and being able to multitask without getting too stressed or confused.
My flaws are coming off as a bit odd at times and not quite getting teenage drama. Why can't they all just be friends?
I look like this.
My wand is a 13 inch, cedar wood wand, with a griffin hair core.
My pet is a ginger persian cat named Sir Fluffytail. What? Why are you looking at me like that? It's a perfectly fine name!

Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you! I'm terribly awkward around the male gender, sorry to say. that might account for my current lack of a significant other. That, and I have ridiculously high standards. Yes, there is a checklist involved. And I have a scar on my neck that looks suspiciously like a bite mark, because that's what it is. A vampire bite mark.
